Look at the history of sanctions against Russia.immediately it becomes clear what the reason is.it makes it difficult to develop, it limits development.

Why do you suppose there are sanctions?

Why not vote in a ruler that doesent keep invading or annexing or murdering people in london, using nerve gas in syria, or, or, or...

Why not vote in someone that behaves less like an autocrat/dictator and someone that puts people like you and the countries economy, and peoples freedom first?

Correct. You cant! And you then say you dont want our democracy. So that is your problem. And yes your suicide rate is FAR higher than the EU or U and in fact one of the highest in the world including 3rd world desperate places. Which tells us all we need to know.

All socialist and all badly behaved countries always blame sanctions. Why do you think the EU and US dont have sanctions? Because we respect rules and peoples rights. Thats what freedom is. You dont have it, and do not behave in a way that allows it, to the world. So sanctions. Wrist slapped.

John you have someone poisoned, you do not give any information.communication through the media, it's ridiculous!blame the country without evidence, is this correct?Your Boris says that you should not go to football in Russia. what connection between football and two corpses is not clear who killed them.John is a circus show!John, you said that Hussein had chemical weapons, then they said that they were mistaken. Is not it?in Iraq, 2 million people died from your troops. Does not that scare you? Is this your democracy?

John if you think that Russia has poisoned this person, can ask Russia for an "antidote" to cure a person?Let Russian specialists come to him?the girl (daughter) is a Russian citizen, you do not allow our specialists.John is what?

John you have someone poisoned, you do not give any information.communication through the media, it's ridiculous!blame the country without evidence, is this correct?

No. We have the evidence.

Your Boris says that you should not go to football in Russia.what connection between football and two corpses is not clear who killed them.

Its extremely clear who killed them.

John is a circus show!John, you said that Hussein had chemical weapons, then they said that they were mistaken. Is not it?in Iraq, 2 million people died from your troops. Does not that scare you? Is this your democracy?

He CLAIMED to have them. And in the past has had them and used them killing millions of his own people. So yes, he should have been stopped regrdless of these weapons that the west believed he had. The fact that they didnt turn up, was a mistake. But not one that mattered. And for what its worth, democracy has nothing to do with this!

Absolute power always corrupts absolutely. Putin was merely sending a message to his perceived enemies - he doesn't care what others think or consider how they will react. See 11.05

If your neibours dog bites people a lot, when you hear a lot of barking and see someone thats been bitten running away, you dont need much in the way of evidence to understand what happened. Again.

Real reason, is that to maintain his hold on power in the light of a colapsing economy and lots of poverty he has to distract the people from the reality with acts of nationalism, shows of strength etc.

I also like russian people. Sadly let down by a dictator that isnt accountable to the people. And a lack of freedom.

it is difficult to talk with you.Putin is bad, Putin is a dictator, you are like parrots.Putin raises the country and returns everything that others have stolen.All (many thieves) are in your London.Do you understand what they really stole from the people? They plundered the people!1990 - 2000 years.Litvenenko.All the criminal case of London secret! Not a single document was handed over to russia. Do you know this?Any charges must be proved.

PS.Understand that you are deceived by these oligarchs - thieves, you give them money for the opposition of power, but they do not do anything.And they will not do it! They are now making money for you!You are naive We see what they are giving an interview, this is a comedy.

it's not tragic, it's "business". you pay them, for the interview, for stories about the bad way, for the opposition.It's profitable!You give money yourself.You give money to crooks and believe them, it's stupid and naive. To understand Russia, it is necessary to communicate with the people of Russia and not for money.

We dont need to. We are not living in a mass propaganda country. That propaganda has worked on you and your people. We see the truth, from free agencies, free countries. Open minds. Our governments dont go around making people disapear, or not allowing them to form or fight a proper alternative party in your fixed elections. We also see what putin is doing. And we see the problems your country faces because of him, your system, corruption, etc. Nobody hates russian people. We dont like your system or its corruption because it is evil. You are heading back the wrong way.

This is a historical pattern: mass purges and executions followed a few decades later by mass pardons. I hope that the era of mass executions is finally over.

It is nevertheless, terribly, terribly sad.

please check your every word.

It is a fact that Putin himself acknowledged when he opened the "Wall of Grief" memorial to the hundreds of thousands of Russians executed in political purges and yet even today millions of Russians still long for the good old days of unlimited government.

The scars Mr Yushchenko bears have, to an extent, faded. But he believes that the threat to those who hold his pro-Western views has not. Other leaders too can become targets, he believes. “Every politician in this country and neighbouring countries who turns towards the West is facing that kind of danger,” he said. “My poisoning took place because I had started taking steps towards the European Union. We have a neighbour who does not want this to happen.”
